Hi,

I have Samsung Galaxy A6 (SM-A600FN) - Android 8.0.0 - fully updated - not rooted.

When transferring microSD card (Kingston SD10/32GB) from my old phone (Samsung Galaxy S Duos S7562 - Android 4.0.4) the card is not recognized.

The card works fine in old phone and on windows laptop.
New phone shows that the card is corrupted.
After formatting on new phone the card works until the phone is restarted (or shut down and turned on again).
Then the new phone shows that the card is corrupted again.
This happens even if nothing has been read or written to the card.
Before and after formatting on new phone card works fine in old phone and on laptop.
Formatting on laptop in FAT32 or extSD doesn't help.
CHKDSK shown no errors and write/read SD card checking tool has also shown no errors.
When used on Samsung Galaxy E (SM-T561) - Android 4.4.4 - card works fine.
When used on Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950F) - Android 8.0.0 - card is corrupted, but after formatting and restart works fine on that device - but not on A6.

Can you please help, or point me to forum or support/dev group?

Thanks!
